Upcoming conferences

Dr. Kristin McLeod will review research on trauma and provides a model for understanding how trauma disrupts regulation, learning and development in a school setting. The workshop will also investigate concepts related to relationship and attunement. Participants will emerge with a stronger understanding of why behaviours occur in a classroom setting and what supports they can provide to both the student and the system.

Culturally Responsive Interventions in Schools: the Why, the What and the How

Dr. Janine Jones will highlight some of the essential skills for providing culturally responsive mental health services to children and adolescents, including a rationale for cultural adaptations in evidence-based treatments, content for increasing cultural literacy, and strategies for integrating cultural variables into school-based interventions. Dr. Jones will address issues such as climate, educational context, and school practices in developing culturally inclusive spaces for historically marginalized student populations.
